She prayed for a son
She hope would be
The light in her eyes
But soon she’d see

He was Wednesday’s Child
Full of trouble and woe
And he left her to grieve
Among the seeds he’d sown

And the weight of the world took her straight down to Laurel Creek
The voice of her pain called her name
‘Til she sank so deep
In laurel creek
In laurel creek

Her sweet heart broke
When he first left home
For a soldier’s fortune
And the great unknown
Her heart broke twice
When she heard the news
She knew right then
What she had to do

And the weight of the world took her straight down to Laurel Creek
The voice of her pain called her name
‘Til she sank so deep
Where no one else could hurt her
Her sins and secrets now forever keep
In laurel creek
In laurel creek

And the weight of the world took her straight down to Laurel Creek
Southern voices sing “you’re finally free"
Through salty tears they cried out
Your sins and secrets now forever sleep in Laurel Creek
